Juventus will reportedly target Arsenal attacker Alexandre Lacazette if they miss out on Dusan Vlahovic. Who is also wanted by the Gunners.
According to CalcioMercato, the Old Lady want to sign the AFC Fiorentina star. However, the UEFA Champions League side might not have the finances to sign Vlahovic. Gianluca Di Marzio has previously reported that the Tuscan side want €80m (£68m) for the attacker.
With Arsenal willing to pay that sort of money for Vlahovic as well as the likes of Tottenham and PSG, as per CalcioMercato, Juventus could find themselves missing out on the Serie A talent.
And because of this, Massimiliano Allegri’s side are looking at alternatives to Vlahovic. With Arsenal’s French attacker Lacazette, who reportedly earns £182,000-a-week, one of the names who could be targeted.
The former Olympique Lyonnais star is set to leave Arsenal at the end of this season. With the striker’s contract expiring next summer, it appears that Lacazette won’t be signing new terms with the club anytime soon.
Despite being a key part of Arsenal’s brilliant run of form recently, it is looking likely that Lacazette will leave north London. And if the Gunners can qualify for Europe, they could well pip Juventus to the signing of Vlahovic.
Arsenal signing Vlahovic could open the door for Lacazette to join Juventus
Mikel Arteta hit his signings out of the park this summer. All six of the new players to join the north London side have had a positive impact at the club. And there’s a strong feeling that Vlahovic could do something similar if the north London side sign the Serbian.
At 21, Vlahovic has the potential to become one of the best attackers in world football. And Arsenal signing the striker could allow Lacazette to make the move to Juventus. Which could be the last big move for the Frenchman in his career.
